Trump disapproval rating hits new record high

One week after former FBI Director James Comey testified to Congress that the president had lied to the American public, President Donald Trump's disapproval rating has hit a new record high.

According to the latest Gallup data, 60 percent of Americans disapprove of the job Trump is doing as president, a new high point for disapproval. His approval rating has dropped to 36 percent concurrently.

The new disapproval rating breaks Trump's earlier record of 59 percent disapproval, which the president hit in March.

Out of the previous three presidents -- including Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama -- Bush is the only other president who reached the 60 percent disapproval mark, but Trump reached the record far quicker.

Bush's approval rating hit a high mark in the wake of the September 11 attacks and then proceeded to slowly decline over the remaining years of his presidency. He crested 50 percent disapproval in 2005 and never saw his disapproval drop below that point throughout his remaining years in office.

Bush reached a 60 percent disapproval rating in 2006. Bush's all-time disapproval record, according to Gallup, was 71 percent, a milestone he reached shortly before the 2008 election of Barack Obama.

Trump has averaged a 40 percent approval rating and 54 percent disapproval rating during his 20 weeks in office, according to the Gallup data.

He entered the White House with the lowest approval rating of any president in the history of Gallup's tracking of that data.

As families prepare for summer vacations in our National Parks - Democrats threaten to close them and shut down the government. Terrible!

Democrats used to support border security — now they want illegals to pour through our borders.

Democrats jeopardizing the safety of our troops to bail out their donors from insurance companies. It is time to put #AmericaFirst🇺🇸

What's more important? Rebuilding our military - or bailing out insurance companies? Ask the Democrats.

I promise to rebuild our military and secure our border. Democrats want to shut down the government. Politics!

I want to help our miners while the Democrats are blocking their healthcare.

The Democrats want to shut government if we don't bail out Puerto Rico and give billions to their insurance companies for OCare failure. NO!

...subject to the fact that if we do not reach a fair deal for all, we will then terminate NAFTA. Relationships are good-deal very possible!

I received calls from the President of Mexico and the Prime Minister of Canada asking to renegotiate NAFTA rather than terminate. I agreed..

Democrats are trying to bail out insurance companies from disastrous #ObamaCare, and Puerto Rico with your tax dollars. Sad!
